it is unfortunate that he cannot finish the race but renault and FA made a huge step forward.

Bad luck. But I think nowadays Renault is the 4th team of F1, and Alonso and Piquet can be in 5th or 6th possition easily.

Last engine cycle, but it was a great advance.

Renault will not have to fight with toyota and toro rosso for a place in Q3.

I did say that he wasn't as light as people were making out. That was one hell of a lap, considering his fuel load. It's a shame he didn't finish the race, becuase I think that he would have been able to come third, to be honest.

Renault were not as light on fuel as I thought he was, and Renault seem to have passed Red Bull, Toyota and Williams in terms of speed. Congratulations to Alonso on a good weekend and Renault on a good development spell.

Yeah. I reckon Piquet could have scored points if he hadn't retired, even after that off that put him down at the back.

No way! Lewis was already ahead when the engine packed in.He wouldnt have beaten Kubica either. Renault have made progress but be realistic!!

he would have been 4th, or 7th if everyone finished in front

Without the SCs (and engine blow), he could have come in P5; P4 at the most, depending on how fast he could have been while Lewis and Kubica where in the pits. Still, i thought he was lighter. So the coming GPs will be really interesting behind the reddies

The engine kabloom makes me think that part of the increased performance of FA's car could be attributed to Renault tweaking the engine a bit higher, more towards the red zone in some areas. Basically they were taking the risk of DNFing in return for a good show in Spain.

Oh I see what you mean! Just read it again. At first i thought you wrote "forget about Kubica"
